El nuevo reto de los gerentes globales consiste en una

extensa práctica profesional dentro del ambiente internacional. 

Una parte integral del aprendizaje es el conocimiento de los

metodos de las construcciónes de sucursales como parte de

cualquier expansion internacional.  Porqué? Por que la primera 

etapa es emplear los planos de la nueva oficina para

negociar el contrato de arriendo llamado “the lease.”  

El autor, Robert Dollar, en su libro The Superintendent’s

GuideCOMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION MADE COMPREHENSIBLE, les

ofrece mas de trienta años de experiencia como constructor

de oficinas, centros de shopping, restorantes, y bancos dentro 

de edificios en los estados unidos. Sr. Dollar habla castellano y ha vivido

años en Chile, fue Presidente de Tecnohome de Brasil y representó

empresas de tecnologia de construcction in America Latina.

El idioma de la construcion comercial norteamericano carece

de una guia para atender la creciente demanda de arquitectos y

comerciantes Latinamericanos en acomodar expansiónes globales. 

Los términos y una explicación de las exigencias de los procesos de

renovación interior de propriedades comerciales se presenta en

esta obra.  El libro esta escrito desde el punto de vista del constructor y

es, a veces, humoristico dada la trayectoria del gerente quien lleva

las aspiraciónes y esperanzas del negocio en el exterior.


 


It wasn't until the end of my first month's construction as Director of Operations at McKinsey and Company that I realized I was relying on outsiders to provide me with options that would dictate corporate efficiency and security in a new office location.  My responsibility for workplace continuity consistently figures into every physical plant improvement.  During the construction process one can be at the mercy of conflicting opinions based only on intuition or faith in the designer and constractor without a resource like The Superintendent's Guide.  The Guide's index takes guesswork out of terminology and the book's chronology lets you find where your project really stands in relation to the schedule and what remains to be done.  The is a  must read for anyone in charge of capital or tenant improvements, Business Continuity or Disaster Recovery and security in a corporate environment."
